Southeastern Arizona has some of the very best birding in North America!
| From tall mountains to vibrant canyons, rolling grasslands to lush desert, it’s also a region rich in natural beauty. With comfortable lodgings, great food and warm weather, it makes for the perfect birding vacation.
Make the most of your visit to Arizona by hiring an expert southeast Arizona birding guide to take you to the right places and show you the right birds. Whether you’re new to bird watching or a veteran birder, your Arizona birding experience will be greatly enhanced with the help of someone who knows the birds, and how to find them. Richard Fray, owner of Fun Birding Tours, has lived and birded in Arizona since 2002. Subject to availability, you can hire Richard by the day at very reasonable rates.
